🍑 Key Identifiers of Hip Joint-Related Buttock Pain

Buttock pain is more likely to come from the hip joint if:

🔹 Pain is in the mid-buttock region (posterior hip)
🔹 There’s associated anterior hip/groin or knee pain
🔹 Range of motion is restricted
🔹 Mid-buttock and anterior hip pain are provoked by deep hip flexion or repeated hip extension

Understanding the source helps guide targeted assessment and management.

⏪ Friday Flashback: Preventing adhesions after hip arthroscopy

🦴 Rehab strategies matter.

Early and regular motion can help reduce adhesion development. Just as important?
✔️ Smart load management
✔️ Gradual exercise progression
✔️ Avoiding re-bleeding and excess inflammation

💊 What about pharmacology?
Losartan has been proposed as a way to reduce fibrosis by blocking a key cytokine pathway. While there’s some evidence for improved musculoskeletal healing, there’s currently no evidence supporting its use for preventing post-operative adhesions after hip arthroscopy.

📌 Bottom line: movement and well-planned rehab remain central to adhesion prevention.

🍑 Is it the Sacroiliac Joint? Key identifiers of SIJ-related buttock pain

Buttock pain is more likely to be sacroiliac joint (SIJ) related if:

1️⃣ The primary pain sits in Fortin’s area — near the PSIS
2️⃣ Aggravating movements specifically reproduce pain in that region (not mid-buttock)
3️⃣ The patient is female, perinatal, hypermobile, or has a history of pelvic trauma

⚠️ Clinical tip: In males aged 20–40 presenting with SIJ region pain, always consider Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Accurate localisation matters when differentiating SIJ, lumbar, and hip-related buttock pain.

No differences between Ed + Exercise vs Ed + Shockwave for Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy. This 1st Exercise RCT for PHT has raised many questions, but it’s an important step forward for research.

🍑 Buttock pain… or lumbar spine referral?

Buttock pain is more likely to be lumbar-related if:
🔹 It’s associated with back pain — and they behave similarly
🔹 Pain extends below the knee
🔹 There’s tingling or numbness in the leg/foot
🔹 Symptoms are bilateral
🔹 It’s aggravated by lumbar loading (bending, lifting, vacuuming, repeated end-range movements)
🔹 Both back and buttock pain worsen together

⚠️ BUT… buttock pain without back or leg symptoms does not rule out the lumbar spine. Somatic referred pain can be more localised.

Understanding the source matters for effective management.
